The headlight assembly on your vehicle has a crucial part called the amber side reflector. In some aftermarket lamps, this reflector is missing.
Risk if Unfixed
Without the amber side reflector, your headlights won't be as visible to other drivers, which could lead to a vehicle crash.
Free Fix
You'll receive a full refund for the non-compliant headlight assembly from DOPE, INC. There's no need for a physical repair, just contact them at 1-626-272-1798 to initiate the refund process.
